“…m denotes a particular 9 While shift-share analysis has a long history of use among regional economists (Hoover and Giarratini 1984 and references therein), it is often presented as an ad hoc method. However papers such as Andrikopulos (1980), Casler (1989) and Graham and Spence (1998) present the microfoundations of shift share, and demonstrate that our interpretation of the so-called "competitive effect" or "differential shift" part of the decomposition as a productivity measure is on solid foundation. metropolitan area.…”

This paper uses data on U.S. metropolitan areas from 1970 to 1999 to examine the extent to which recent increases in earnings are attributable to agglomeration economies. We decompose the total change in earnings over the 1970-1999 period into components attributable to changes in relative growth, industry mix and interaction effects. We find strong evidence that relative growth matters more than industry mix. In addition, we find that relative growth effects are related to both localization and urbanization economies.

“…In an attempt to reduce such inferential limits, a smaller disaggregation has been agreed to; that is, the tool is applied only when taking large sectors into account or examining a single sector that is then divided into a particular number of branches (Arcelus, 1984;Casler, 1989;Mayor et al, 2005;Stevens and Moore, 1980). More recently, Shields (2003) and Kriesel (2014) from the U.S. have agreed on the appropriateness of applying the method to the 11 major sectors that structure the U.S. gross domestic product, 4 and they also recommend applying the method for a period of no greater than five years.…”

En este artículo se examina el comportamiento sectorial de la economía del condado de Hidalgo, Texas, tomando como referencia el periodo recesivo de la economía estadounidense 2007–2011. Los resultados de la investigación muestran que el condado de Hidalgo evitó la contracción de la tasa de empleo estadounidense marcada en –4.4%; esto al presentar una tasa local positiva de 5.2%. Ese perfil a prueba de recesión, se explica por su orientación hacia una economía de servicios, entre ellos, el sector de la administración pública como ámbito estratégico para corregir las fallas del mercado. Para dar cuenta del comportamiento sectorial se aplicó la técnica de cambio y participación (shift–share), alimentándola con datos del U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Los datos obtenidos se discuten en el marco del debate teórico relacionado con la aplicación de políticas activas de corte keynesiano.

“…Similarly, Markusen et al (1991) included in their analysis international trade data as well, in an attempt to throw some light on the first two components of expression (1). A more elaborate framework, based on a regional input model, was provided by Casler (1989), who linked shift-share components to factor demand for labour.…”

European Integration and the Spatial Dynamics of Manufacturing-Employment Change

The author examines the dynamics of manufacturing-employment change in thirteen European Union countries between 1978 and 1996, mainly through the utilisation of shift-share techniques. Despite the momentum that European integration gained over this period, the key finding is that the geography of manufacturing employment has remained almost intact. Processes operating at the European scale appear to have the largest impact on labour outcomes in each member state, while there is little deviation from the widespread declining trends. Spatial stability is reinforced even further through the homogeneity of several national industrial structures. In addition, the moderate increase in the industrial specialisation of the participating economies, and the localisation tendencies of a few traditional subsectors, pose little if any threat to the stability of the present map of manufacturing distribution. This evidence suggests that, contrary to some political rhetoric, the integration process has not, so far at least, adversely affected the relative competitiveness of manufacturing either in peripheral or in core countries.
